Taming Master

* * *

Unlike regular quests in the case of matching quests in Kailan, new quest windows are not created, but the way the information in the existing quest window is modified.

As soon as Ian received the quest, he opened the information window that he had previously received to check the specifics.

- "The Secret of Prophecy Ⅰ (Hidden) (Association)"

You've succeeded in discovering the Lafers' Node deep within the rift.

I met Primson, the manager who manages the node's boundaries.

According to Primson, the Lafers are now depleted of ‘Dimensional Meteorite Fragment', the most important resource for magical research.

That's why we need to set up a new Quarry. To do so, we must fight the Giants to the east of the Rift.

Primson asks you to defeat the Giant Scouts.

And while you're at it, I'll report the situation to the top of the Lafers.

Before Primson brings reinforcements, get rid of 10 or more Giant Scouts.

The more scouts you kill, the more reliability the Lafers will have.

(Penalty-free)

The quest was generally similar to what Primson had heard, but Ian was still able to confirm one thing.

He inferred one fact with a 60-minute quest timeout and a clue in the quest content called 'Supporter'.

So you're saying reinforcements will be here in 60 minutes? ’

So Ian started rolling his head quickly.

I decided that I might be able to use these reinforcements to easily complete all of my existing quests.

‘I don't know if the Lafers' reinforcements will follow us gently under the crack, but it should be worth a try. ’

Ian made up his mind to say goodbye to Primson lightly.

“I'll see you soon, then, Primson. I'll take care of the scouts before you get here. ”

And in Ian's words of positivity, Primson's face turned bright.

“Great. Thanks, Ian. The elders will be very pleased! ”

With a short greeting, Ian began to move his busy steps.

The 60-minute time that was given was still going on, and the time was like gold in quests with overachievement rewards.

* * *

After receiving the quest from the manager, Ian made a small change.

The faint purple energy in all the cracks that had never been seen until began to appear.

Starting with one stone, you can't fathom a huge rock.

We can see the faint light shining in all the places of these stones that are rich in cracks.

And Ian, intuitively, knew.

that it has to do with the meteorite fragment that Lugaryx and Primson talked about.

"If the resources are so ubiquitous, why do you want to fight the Giants? ’

Suddenly, out of curiosity, Ian tilted his head.

But as soon as we arrived at the destination, the question that Ian had was immediately solved.

It was pouring out an incredible energy from the inside of the huge earth that the Giants were guarding.

If the purple color of the floating debris in the air was so faint that the eyes could see it, the huge chunks of rock that the Giants were guarding were emitting so intensely that the color of the surface would feel like purple.

“Phew, by the way, there are more Giant troops than I thought.... We have to fight carefully. ”

It wasn't easy to combat avoiding an attack even when attacked by two scouts.

He decided it was wise to take out as many scouts as possible and fight.

After carefully examining the terrain of the battlefield and the power of the Giants, Ian began to sneak into the outskirts without delay.

If the situation had gone according to the calculations, Ian was confident that he would capture up to twenty Giant Scouts, not ten in 60 minutes.

“Hehe, Ian would have found the Lafers' Node by now..." ”

A small sperm in the corner of the Amphitheater.

The three men in black cloaks were in impurity (?) sitting around and having a conversation.

“Lugaryx, are you all right? ”

“What?”

“The man we saw, Ian...... will certainly accomplish all of the Lafers' duties. ”

“That's right. I'm sure they'll be back when they're done. ”

Their identities are macaron, dakaron, and lugaryx.

Currently the busiest (?) Three people were gathering in the corner and chattering.

It was forced to be free because Lugaryx was tied up by the archer, and Macaron and Dacharon were free because no new Tributes were showing up.

“Of course, Ian can accomplish all the Lafers' duties. ”

“Well, then…? ”

“Have you given up, Mr. Lugaryx? ”

Macaron and Takaron stare at Lugaryx with their eyes wide open.

In response, Lugarix replied with a stiff reply.

“Abandon! Don't put such an ominous word in your mouth! ”

“ ……? ”

“I never want to see that monster again. ”

Then I started to join the horses with a chuckle.

“You haven't forgotten the power of the powerful dimensions that govern macarons, dakarons, and cracks, have you? ”

“Oops!”

“Come to think of it...? ”

“We've already adapted to fracturing for a long time, but not for Ian, who first broke it. ”

Whether you imagined something, Lugaryx's satisfied expression continues.

“Of course, if Ian gives up the prophecy and returns here, he'll never be able to do it. ”

macaron asked.

“Why?”

“That's because Ian's greed is enormous. ”

“Hmm…? ”

Lugarix rubs his hands and is wicked (?) I opened my mouth again with my face.

“I wish I could meet the Giant General while I'm greedy. I want to be locked up in the Giant Prison. ”

And so, Lugaryx began to ramble on about his hopes.

* * *

Time passed quickly.

Ian has already entered the Realm of the Giants, and it is almost 50 minutes.

60 minutes is less than 15 minutes.

However, unlike what he had originally anticipated, Ian's performance was not very good.

Instead of achieving the excess reward, we still haven't defeated all ten Giants.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the Giant Scout.

- Increases Contribution Points for Family 'Rock Spring’ by 5.

- You obtained 281 ‘Jerkoo Coins'.

- You received the item: "Giant Scout's Rope of War".

- EXP +4,822.

- You have fulfilled some of the requirements of the 'Covenant Magic Secret Ⅰ (Hidden) (Association)’ Quest.

- Defeat Giant Scout (9/10)

- Time Limit: 00: 11: 48

Kuung-!

Ian leans back, avoiding the bodies of the fallen giants. His whole body breathes violently with sweat.

“Huff, huff…. ”

And it wasn't just Ian.

“Chuckle, Your Majesty, can I rest a bit and move on? I can't breathe...! ”

“I'm going to die, Lord. It's too hard to move. ”

Grrrrrrr!

Even the deceased Helheim, Kaisar, and all the summoners who participated in the battle were all sweating and struggling.

As Ian, it was truly an exile situation.

‘Whew, this was a system that accelerated as fatigue accumulated……. ’

When you first confront the Giant Scouts, Ian's group is able to defeat them with great ease.

Until the first three were killed, the time limit was less than 10 minutes, so it was faster than Ian thought.

But as the five began to move on, the story changed completely.

Ian and the rest of the group are getting fatigued rapidly, and the time spent killing each of them has increased exponentially.

So it took almost 10 minutes to get rid of him just now.

At this rate, it was not even close to achieving the quest success conditions in time.

‘Phew, this is the worst hunting ground ever. ’

Ian wipes the sweat off his cheeks, and immediately starts to move to find his next target.

Ian desperately wanted to take a break, but he needed to fulfill the quest requirements before he could rest.

‘I'm sure the matching quest won't end here.... It could be a harder journey than I thought. ’

The difficulty of the initial Triple S rank was high, but the quests were more likely to be linked three to five times.

And if all those quests were like this, even Ian couldn't stay strong.

‘Let's think after killing the last one. We can make it this far. ’

Ian started attacking the last ten Giant Scouts with all his strength.

Even though it was a little dangerous, I moved aggressively and put a spear in it, and now I have poured out all the unique abilities of summoners and pseudostats thinking it is the last battle.

And as a result...

Kung-!

Exactly one minute before the 60-minute time limit was over, all the quest conditions were achieved.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the Giant Scout.

- Increases Contribution Points for Family 'Rock Spring’ by 5.

…… approximate……

- You completed all the requirements of the 'Covenant Magic Secret Ⅰ (Hidden) (Association)’ Quest.

-Kill the Giant Scout (10/10)

- Time Limit: 00: 01: 03

“Enough!”

As soon as I saw the quest conditions, Ian sat down on Iron's back.

Ian moves his group to a corner out of sight of the Giants, and he decides to rest as long as he can until Primson brings reinforcements.

It would only be a minute to rest, but I didn't think I would have any strength if I didn't.

‘Phew, I'm already worried about my next quest. I wish I could spare some time.... ’

Unlike usual situations, I have no choice but to come up with an idea that is really not like Ian.

But at the next moment, Ian's thoughts were once again different.

- Tyring!

“Huh?"

In front of Ian, who was leaning against a rock, he remembered a new kind of system message that he had not thought of.

-Moves beyond the limits under dimensional magical pressure.

- Achievement rate: 348 percent

- Achievement rate applied to increase ‘Dimensional Magical Resistance’ stat by 9.

- Significantly reduced pressure from the force of the dimensional crack.

-Decreases the slowing effect by 4.5 percent (47 percent to 42.5 percent)

- All resistances except ‘Dimensional Magical Resistance’ are restored by 0.3 percent (-28.2 percent -25.5 percent)

- a little more adapted to countercurrent forces.

- Less movement.

Ian, who did not understand the situation at once, dreamt of his two eyes and carefully read the system message again.
